While modernization and economics could have been a beneficial side-effect for SOME Indians, on the WHOLE I believe the people there were better off striving for independence, based on the litany of negative things they were going through due to Britain controlling thingz. To say nothing of the notion that local control (and controlling one's own destiny so2speak), is, to me, to be objectively "more right". Not "absolutely" right, but certainly more right than the other alternative.

word im not disagreeing with you on any of this.
whether you or i view something as BEING right is irrelevant, to what IS.
whoever wins is right. because to win, you have to defeat your opposition
